ADMINISTRATOR’S MESSAGE
Full Speed Ahead during Tough TimesThe Village of Deerfield has worked very hard in the recent years to keep the local portion of your property tax bill under control. The Village Board has developed fiscal and operational strategies to maintain essential public services, while being sensitive to the continuing economic struggles of our nation and state.
You’ve likely seen or read in the news about the changes taking place in Madison to control spending in Wisconsin. The proposed 2011-12 State Budget includes items that will force local governments to carefully review their organizations and make important priority choices for the future. The budget proposal includes reductions in shared revenue, road aids and recycling grants. All three of these programs are key sources of Village revenue. Besides property taxes, these state resources represent the second highest amount of revenue that Deerfield relies upon each year. Below describes each program and its projected cut for 2012:
-Shared Revenue: this is unrestricted aid provided from the State of Wisconsin to counties, cities and villages to assist in property tax relief. The Village of Deerfield will see a 9.4% reduction in shared revenue next year.
-Road Aids: this program provides funds to communities to maintain streets. The reduction to Village Road Aids for 2012 will be 15%.
-Recycling Program: the State of Wisconsin provides an annual grant to each community that operates a recycling program. The current state budget proposes to eliminate this mandate and the grant that goes with it. The Village generally received about $10,000 each year in a grant for our recycling program.
All together, the reduction from the State amounts to nearly a 4% cut to Village revenue for next year. While this makes for budget challenges, it’s also a great opportunity to carefully examine the Village’s needs to ensure effective management and the efficient delivery of services.
On the sunnier side of things, the Village is seeing positive activity in many areas. Once again, the Savannah Parks development continues to progress by being named a Parade of Homes site for the second consecutive year. If the Parade equals the interest and turnout of last year, the Village will again see a nice influx of visitors all over Dane County and surrounding region. All those who visit Deerfield will see how welcoming and attractive it is - hopefully convincing some to stay and enjoy what we have to offer. On the south side of the Village, you will see a flurry of activity in The Heritage subdivision. There have been a number of new building permits issued there in 2011.
Any kind of new development, whether residential, commercial or industrial, helps the Village increase its tax base – which will help offset the reductions in revenue in other areas.
As the Deerfield Village Administrator, please feel free to contact me at Village Hall anytime with any questions or concerns about the operations and plans for the Village. The Village Hall phone number is 764-5404 and my email address is . It has been great meeting many of you in the first two years on the job. I hope I get the chance to meet many others down the road. Enjoy Spring!
Patrick Vander Sanden, Village Administrator

DEERFIELD BIKE RODEO
On Saturday, May 21, 2011 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM the Deerfield Police Department, along with the Dane County Sheriff’s Office will host the 8th annual Bike Rodeo. The bike rodeo will be held at the Deerfield Elementary School. A bike rodeo is designed to be a fun, educational and hands-on way for children and parents to learn about bike safety. A bike rodeo is a great resource to introduce young bike riders and their parents to necessary skills to operate a bike safely.
This year’s bike rodeo participants will receive free bike helmets donated by Habush, Habush and Rottier. Come and join the fun on May 21, 2011!
